Too many characters in Forenames MORE THAN 30

i HAVE too many forenames to fit into the passport online APPLICATION , it is 32 characters and the max allowed are 30 , therefore i have shorten my first and midle names in the way to be shown on the passport, however the original nationality passport have the first and midle names 32 charecters, what i should to avoid any issue after submitting my application , this is my first UK passsport

I think you have to change your name on the original passport first.

Why?
I understand things vary for different countries, but if passport office would want names to be aligned, they'll be also asking this question.

See https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... accessible

Regarding your situation- I'd advise to contact HMPO and ask for advice on that.
https://www.gov.uk/passport-advice-line
(I hope people do speak with HMPO employees via that; other folks, correct me if it's as bad as UKVI).

Sadly that helpline is also known to sometimes give incorrect advice.

OP should provide a letter from their embassy that says it is impossible to change the name on their passport (or provide a smiliarly official explanation as per to why it is impossible) and do a deed poll to officially change their name ahead of applying for BC - much easier to have the certificate in the new name directly.

THANK YOU FOR THOSE LINKS, BASED ON WHAT I READ, I HAVE OPTION

TO REMOVE THE SPACES

Name difference: hyphen, space, or apostrophe
You must check if the difference is because the customer added or removed:
a space between their names
This is because we will not ask the customer to align their name when all the following apply:

the only difference between the name is because the customer added or removed a hyphen, space, or apostrophe between their names
the order of the name has not changed
a surname has not become a part of a forename
a forename has not become part of a surname

If the only difference between the names relates to a hyphen, space, or apostrophe we can accept, you must:

Accept the name.
Add a case note to show all the actions and decisions you have made with reasons

i hope this will work without change the original one

As far as you make sure that forenames and surnames don't get mixed up it seems that should work.
